Crown and Anchor in South Kesteven

I went last Friday and had the 16oz gammon steak. And it was absolutely perfectly cooked good value for money and the staff are very friendly with great service. Very highly recommended. A must visit. Thank-you I will going back.

Celebrating an 80th Birthday with family, staff were amazing and the food was outstanding. Very accommodating for the youngest family member. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be back again soon! 👏👏👏

lovely food and great service from friendly ,helpful staff

Lunch for 11 people Food came out hot served altogether No complaints from anyone everyone impressed with service and food Highly recommend you need to book

What an amazing place to eat,friendly staff,lovely and cozy place,and the food is too die for.big portions,freshly cooked.ive tried alot of country pubs,and this wins,hands down.we will defo be returning.thankyou.

Booked a mid-week lunch for four a couple of days before we wished to go, and although we did this using their telephone booking system, we failed to get a response. However, a telephone call sufficed. On a mid-week lunchtime, the pub was quiet, but our welcome was warm and the menus and 'Specials Board', were excellent with an enormous choice, and some really different offerings. Staff were lovely and our food offerings arrived in a timely manner, and were simply first class. Perhaps not the cheapest of places to eat, BUT, the quality of food, and the portion sizes make up for all of that, and in my view, this really is a very special pub, and well worth seeking out. Drink prices are actually fine and the house wine of very accepatable quality. If you go once, you will return.

Lovely country pub with insane food! The best meal out we have had in years, the portion sizes are also huge. Will definitely recommend

Had an amazing meal there with family food was fantastic and thr service was great very friendly and welcoming

Lunch at crown and anchor lovely meal as usual staff are excellent

Called on the off chance on a Tuesday lunchtime. Not certain from a previous review about drinks prices, not cheap but reasonable compared with other establishments I have been to, pint of Amstel £4.95 and a large wine £7.70. My wife had the rump at £18.95, not the best she has had, slightly fatty, but still good - the dogs enjoyed the off cuts!! I had the hunters burger @ £15.95, very nice indeed. Lovely staff, good atmosphere and good food, recommended.

Had a wonderful meal on a Tuesday evening place was very busy and the food was so good we had full ribs and fish and chips and everything was spot on, highly recommended can't wait to go again 😋

Popped in for lunch. Food was delicious ( steak could have done with some salad) good atmosphere especially for a grey Tuesday lunchtime. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Visited this friendly well kept pub on a Saturday lunchtime. The pub has a welcoming atmosphere. Our meals were well presented, and were very satisfying. The staff were warm and staff.

Recently enjoyed an excellent meal at the crown and anchor. Had the rack of ribs as a main and stick toffee pudding for dessert, both of which were amazing. Will definitely be returning.

Wow what a great little find this place is very pleasant staff and the food was was to die for we as a family eat out in a lot of top restaurants and this is one of the best we have been could not fault anything at all we shall definitely be returning here

Have visited the crown and anchor on many occasions and have never been disappointed. Food is always a high standard and served on hot plates. They change the menus monthly so there is always something new to try. Staff are always friendly and engaging and it's a nice touch that they recognise you and make conversation. This is definitely a place to try if you are in the area. Can't wait for our next visit

myself and 2 friends went to the Crown and Anchor on Saturday 17th Feb as I'd seen some good reviews and I was disappointed as we found the drinks quite expensive and the main course was extremely disappointing, 2 of the party had a starter which was very good which raised our hopes for the main course, then for the mains 1 member of our party had the half rack of ribs which she was very happy with but myself and my other friend had the mixed grill which considering It was £24.95p we were very disappointed as everything on the plate except the chips were tepid at best and when this was mentioned to the waitress she offered to heat them up which considering the price and the fact the other member of the party would have finished their meal before we got the mixed grills back we declined and also all they would have done was put the food In a microwave then my friend ordered the churro's for dessert the batter In the center of the churro's wasn't cooked properly so overall we weren't very Impressed and we won't be returning.

Having visited here before we booked a table for a birthday meal. We all had drinks starters and mains. Starters were good and mains large and reasonable. A side was forgot however wasn’t too much of an issue. Unfortunately my own main was inedible as it was coated in honey and had solidified. I was unable to eat this and explained this quietly when food was collected. Shortly after I was approached an a lady explained to me how pork belly should be and expressed it was fine. When collecting the food I demonstrated how hard the pork in honey was however I was completely insulted to have the meal explained to me. We dine out more than most and have eaten at some top restaurants and as a grown adult I was more than understanding of how pork belly ‘should be cooked’. I came away feeling embarrassed and outrageously insulted by the staff member who failed to acknowledge an issue and insist the £16 starter was more than fine. Our table would have spent a substantial sum of money on food and drink so this is a real shame to have been treat this way. Customer service goes a long way and this was a huge let down.

Had a wonderful birthday meal with Family. Food-was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful and worked very hard

Fantastic food with wonderful staff!! Can’t fault the place. The food was well above standard with thick gammon and rich food far above expected for a country pub. Very lovely and highly recommended!

Stayed for 1 night in their attached cottage. Fantastic sums it up 👍. Everything was spot on. Decor, facilities, comfort,all 1st class. If you're in the area and need a stop over, you must try this place. Cost was very affordable and what better to have a pub 🍻 next door. Brilliant 😀

Amazing place for dinner really recommended

Excellent food, great service and a very nice venue also. Pity that 9nly Street parking available.

Had a great meal here, the ribs are divine

Great for gluten free. I’m a coeliac and they always have a long list of options and don’t cross contaminate. Would recommend

You will always receive a warm welcome and the food is second to none.

One of our favourite places to eat. Food is great and plentiful, served with in a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. The portions are very large so be warned. Whilst two of us opted for the Steak pie, our son decided to try to master the Quadzilla which is a huge burger you need to finish in 30 mins. he did it (just) but couldn't find space to drink his free pint. Thanks for a great meal and service.

Fantastic food.Very tasty, Great staff, freindly and curtious. Good value, great selection of beers.

We’ve been here a few times now with family for evening meal and Sunday lunch, it has been delicious every time. Plenty of food too and wonderful friendly staff. We will continue to visit.

Good food, good service from friendly staff.

We visited for a family meal - the first time we've all been able to meet up in almost a year, so it had to be a good venue. Thankfully, the crown and anchor was perfect. A warm welcome from staff, a great selection on the menu and specials board and to top it off - absolutely amazing food! Service was prompt and efficient. A++

The food was ok. Staff didn't seem to have a clue about anything. If you asked anyone anything they would have to go and gind out from somebody else.

Great food only had to send one meal back but was replaced no problem. Only thing I would say is it felt like we were being rushed. My partner was still eating his main course but still came over to ask if he was finished when he clearly hadn't which then made him feel like he needed to rush.

Fab time spent even the dog was happy with his treat. Food cooked just how we like it and of a standard to be very impressed. Good selection of beer and wine, what's not to like! Family run and it shows. Thank you for a great time we will see you soon... Will, Nikki and Rhubarb...

The food really good definitely go back

My partner and I have been on a few occasions, went tonight, food was outstanding, perfect, staff so friendly, would recommend this place to anyone, will be back again, kind regards mr markham and miss kitchen.

We had a lovely 25th wedding anniversary meal with family at this lovely country pub .The staff are so friendly and the meals we had was fantastic .I can honestly say out of all of the country pubs I've been to over my many years this pub is the best I've been to .It's so friendly and the food is out of this world .Thankyou x

Food good if I have a complaint the portions were huge, no one finished the meal and only one course eaten as too full for dessert

Had an excellent meal, staff and locals friendly.

What a lovely experience from start to finish, warm welcome, very friendly staff, roaring fire and excellent choice of menu. Service and food was brilliant, good quality, well cooked and pipping hot, would highly recommend to anyone. Will be visiting again.

Came here for Sunday roast. Opted for the beef and pork duo which is a little more expensive. You get plenty of food - three slices of two meats, as well as very nice seasonal veg, cauliflower cheese (not a fan), large homemade Yorkie, cabbage (not a fan), and gravy, plus some spot-on crackling. It was all cooked really nicely. My only criticism of the food was that the potatoes were not of a variety that I prefer - but that's down to me, and the pork was a little dry. Overall though, a really good Sunday roast and I can understand where it gets its good reputation from. The bar staff are prompt and friendly. The pub itself could do with a bit more atmosphere and ambience - possibly down to the time of day though.

Great service, great food, what more can you say! And i can take my dog - winner!

Amazing food great atmosphere great owners

Great pub and excellent food, plus very good service! Looking forward to our next visit on Saturday!

Lovely nights stay at the Crown & Anchor Welby, hosting was Brillant and Accommodating , comfortable bed, big bathroom & very plentiful tasty breakfast! Thank you we will stay again sometime. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁

Fantastic place food was amazing we went to celebrate my Grandaughters 13th birthday and then got told by my daughter we are going to be grandparents again so all in all everything was fantastic xx

Fantastic little pub. Had a family meal for my husbands 50th birthday. The staff put out my decorations and followed all of my requests. All staff were lovely and friendly and the food was delicious. First time going but it won't be the last, highly recommend.

Wow wow what an amazing warm and welcoming place. Food was amazing and cooked to perfection. We all had steaks all incredible. Fantastic service and would highly recommend and will certainly be back . Thank you all .

Visited twice in the last two weeks - first for their Thursday night Steak night - 2 for £30 - excellent value 12oz steaks with lots of extras and a drink each. Then called in there for lunch today with the dog. Both great experiences, very welcoming attentive staff and good value for money even had my favourite gin! Would definitely recommend them if you are local or visiting the area.

Managed to get a table for 4 even though the place was full thanks to the great management. Staff were very quick, friendly and helpful. Food choice was excellent with a standard menu and a substantial specials board. I would thoroughly recommend going.

Visited here midweek for food. Received a really friendly welcome at the bar and found all the staff to be so cheery and helpful. Food is lovely too. You have a standard menu plus blackboard with specials which is mainly meat based. I had the...

Didn't know this pub at all but met friends here as a midway meeting point. We all had the steak night special. Very tasty and filling and good value. Will visit again

Sunday roast was excellent. They were very busy but gave us a table in the bar. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm definitely going to return.

My favourite pub. Food is fantastic. Really friendly country pub.

What a great little pub this is, the staff were friendly and welcoming , the food was excellent, good quality ingredients and generous portions. Very good value for money, we will return .

Excellent meals, I had the full rack of ribs best I’ve ever had the portions are very generous, staff very attentive and friendly 5 stars

Great food and brilliant service

Only recently started to frequent this local pub, and it is a hidden gem in Lincolnshire! The food quality, service and staff is second to none. Mid-week and Sunday menus are extensive, and the food is simply amazing and excellent value. Sunday roasts are another thing! The staff are absolutely lovely and friendly too. If Carlsberg did great food pubs this is right up there!! 100% recommended.

Great pub with fantastic staff. Food delicious and plentiful. Will deffo go back and thoroughly recommend.

Wow! These guys know how to do meat!! Our first visit I shared the Smoking Board with my partner- Phenomenal! The ribs were absolutely perfect, and my partner's favourite was the chicken. Our second visit I opted for the cannon of lamb with dauphinoise potatoes from the specials board, which was also divine! We cannot wait for out third visit next month!

Best fish n chips in years. Lovely atmosphere and a great pint

A very nice country pub,, with very friendly staff great food,, good selection of beverages and a warm welcome

Excellent service and excellent food. Very friendly and lovely surroundings. We have eaten here on multiple occasions and the standard is always excellent. Ensure you have a good appetite as the portions are very generous.

Lovely place, great food, reasonable prices, helpful, fantastic friendly staff. Highly recommended

Lovely staff, wonderful meals, a perfect evening!!

Had a quick stop and had starters as a snack. Delicious food, great choice of drinks and staff were so helpful. Would consider going back and staying just to try more of what was on offer.

Fabulous food - staff welcoming and accommodating. Dogs readily accepted

Excellent food, good sized portions, good choice. All nicely prepared to a high standard. Service excellent.

Great food, all really nice people. Definitely will be back here.

The food was delicious, if I lived locally it would be my goto pub for meals out.

I went with my husband for a rare meal without the kids. The front of the pub is traditional, cosy with a lovely wood burner but at the back is a more modern, airy dining area. The staff behind the bar were very welcoming and...

Lovely pub, delicious food, we've been a few times for Sunday lunch but this time went with friends on a Friday evening. It was just as good, really friendly service, the only thing was it was busy when we arrived at 7.30pm but by 9.45-10pm the place was empty so we felt we should leave. Will definitely return though. Thank you.

Very friendly and cosy. Food and beer good.

Fab Sunday lunch, staff and service. Recommend! Need to try out the evening menu and steak night next 😋

Came in a party off 9 and was looked after by the staff who was all very polite and friendly. food was delicious and plentiful, would highly recommend thank you all for a wonderful night.

Amazing x Hosts very friendly and welcoming. Food top class x

Lovely place to stop off for a drink. Nice little village.

We visited for Sunday lunch as a party of 8, a pre-Christmas get together. The food and service was simply excellent and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. We have been before and on all occasions it never disappoints. Would highly recommend!!

We were visiting family in the village and went to this pub for dinner, we were greeted by a lovely lady who was so helpful and professional, we all ordered the steak special (Thursdays) and we certainly was not disappointed the food and service was...

We came here for a last minute lunch with baby and our corgi. We we’re at Belton House nearby and called up to see if there were any tables within the next 30mins. A lovely lady reserved us one and welcomed us when we arrived....

It is many years since I last visited this atmospheric pub with restaurant a few miles outside Grantham, and not far off Ermine Street, the old Roman Road. We had pre-booked for an early Sunday lunch and although the Car Park though empty was for...

We love this place the people, food, relaxing environment, homely feel, best pub for miles, never had a bad meal here, peter the chef is amazing & the guy that covers 👏👏👏❤️❤️

The last time we went to the crown and anchor, Welby, was a year before COVID. It was ok but I was disappointed with the apple 🍏 pie which was bought in and was not very good. It has new Tennant's/owners now and friends of ours have said how good the food was. Based on that recommendation I phoned up asking for a table for tonight. The person who answered the phone was very helpful in getting me a table for 2 at 7.00 on what seemed to be a fairly busy night. I liked the fact that a staff member came and spoke to us as we were seated at our table, to let us know that they would be with us shortly to take our order when they had a gap in service. I had the triburger from the specials board and my wife had the cod and chips. Both were excellent and very filling. We didn't have a dessert as we were both fit to pop. The staff overall were very attentive and pleasant. Well done everyone 👍. We'll be definitely be coming back. Thanks
